THE NEW PAVING LAW.
The City Considering What Streets it
Will Improve First.

4LIc OlJy GOllSlQSIulS w udG IL
Will Improve First.
The City Council Committee on Streets
and Lanes, will submit a report this week
recommending what streets shall be paved
first under the new law. The matter was
brought before the Council at its last meet
ing by Alderman Thomas, and was referred
to the Street and Lane Committee to be re-
ported upon at the earliest practicable mo-
ment. The paving of Congress street from
Drayton TO West Broad has already been
decided upon, and this will be the first work
done.
The streets which the Committee has been
considering are: River street, from West
Broad to Water street; Wadley street, from
River to Bay street. and Bay from Savan
nah and Ogeechee canal to Wadley street:
Liberty street, a width of thirty feet, from
Wheaton to West Broad Anderson, from
Drayton to Cemetery, a width of twenty
feet; New Houston, from Drayton to Whit
aker, a width of thirty feet; BrOughton,
from Aberco1n to East Broad. Some of
these will probably be paved with
graywacke or granite blocks and others
with asphalt.
The new law, which went into effect this
month, authorizes the city to require the
improvement, either for travel or drainage,
of any street or lane, which by two-thirds
vote the Council may see tit TO improve, and
to assess two-thirds of the cost Of the work
on the real estate on each side of the street.
1t requires street railroads to pave
the width Of their track and two
feet on each side. The frontage
of interesting streets, concerning which
there was so much trouble under the old
law, must be assessed as real estate
AUDITING upon the improved street.
The city is the owner of
these intersections, and possessing the same
rights as other real estate owners, mu pay
from the City Treasury its pro rata of the
cost of the work The law alsp gives the
city the authority to renew or repair any
pavement at the expense of the city and
the owners of the real estate AUDITING on
the street and of the street railroads which
may run through it, one-third of the ex-
pense to be borne by the city and the other
two-thirds by the property owners, the
street railroad being required to renew or
repair the width of its track and two feet
o each side.
The principal point of difference between
the old and new laws is the authority which
the city has to improve whatever streets it
sees fit, without asking the consent of the
property owners. Under the old law it was
necessary for a majority of the property
owners to petition Council before The work
could be done

Cable Street Cars.

There was a rumor ahoat few days ago
that this new street railway, which is to go
to the Central railroad wharf and through
the city, was to be run by cable, like the Chi
cago street railway. This would probably
cost more money in the start, but would
prove more profitable in the long run, as so
many more trips could be made in a day,
and parties having important business to at
tend to at the Central railroad wharf, could
get there in very little time just the
same at Appel Il Schauls, the One Price
Clothiers; 1t takes you no time to get an
outfit at their establishment, as every arti-
Gle is marked in plain figures with the lowest
price to all on same, thus saving an hour or
two argument on the price, etc.
Their plan of doing business is sufficient
for those that are not judges of goods to buy
with confidence, knowing their friends do
not buy the same goods for less money and
those that are judges are invited to cali and
inspect prices to convince themselves Their
fall and winter stock has been received, and
are ready for inspection-16S Congress

REOPEN ED FOR WORSHIP.
Service Resumed in the Independel

Service Resumed in the Independent
Presbyterian Church.
The Independent Presbyterian church,
which has been undergoing extensive i'm
provement since early in the summer, was
reopened for worship yesterday. There was
no formal opening service. DR.. Bacon
preached in the morning an appropriate
sermon from the text Neither in this tenn
pie nor at Jerusalem shall We worship His
subject was the Christian temple. The Old
Testament lesson was from l. Kings vii, 81 ::
$50 was ended all the work that King Solo
mon made for the house of the Lord. And
Solomon brought in the things which David
his father bad dedicated even the silver,
and the gold, and the vessels, did he put
among the treasures in the house of the
Lord The New Testament lesson was
Hebrews viii, touching upon Chris s min
istry. The music by the choir, with Miss
Coburn organist, was admirably rendered
The church was we'll filed at the morning
service, but at night the congregation was
small, owing to the Young Mems Christian
Association exercises at the Baptist church
One of the features of the evening service
was the singing of the anthem, Come Unto
Me-" composed by Dr.. Bacon, by trio
service the electric lights in the church
went out and the congregation sat in dark
ness until the gas could be lighted.
4 description of the improvements which
the church has undergone, has already been
given in the MORNING NEWS. The interior,
although not yet complete, the organ not
being in position, is one of the handsomest
church interiors in the South. The church
will be open continuously now for service.

WILL NOT GO WITH THE SHIP.
What Will be Done With the Crew of
the Steamship Resolute?

What VIII be Done With the Crew of
the Steamship Resolute2
There was some discussion yesterday over
the status of the crew of the Resolute since
the decision of the Naval Court Some are
of the opinion that the crew cannot be dis
charged, and that if the seamen stick to the
ship she cannot take the damaged cotton
but must carry them back. Capt. Reavely,
of the Resolute, says that what will be done
in the case rests with the owners, who have
been informed of what has occurred, but
they have authority to discharge the crew
and hire another, in which case they must
pay the discharged men their wages
and give them transportation back
to England Shipping Commissioner
Beckett says that the British law
upon that point is that when a crew is dis
charged in a foreign port the owners must
pay them three months wages. A percent
age of the wages so paid goes to the English
government which furnishes transportation
for the crew back to England. They must
be returned to an English port, for the cap
tains are required to account for every man
who may ship with them. and in order to
relieve himself of all responsibility he
usually, when a crew is discharged, pays
the three months wages and turns them
over to the British Consul, who gives him a
clean receipt for them. The crew is still
firm, and the men say they will not go in

The fall meeting of the Southern League

the business to come up will be the consid-
Grafton of applications for admission
next season, arrangements for continuing
the league, and the settlement of disputed

Perhaps the most important matter which

September Savannah was made to pay
heavy fine for similar conduct last year,
